Our Story

2016 July
Qooper founder, Omer, was part of a 30-participant future leaders mentoring program in an enterprise of 30,000 employees. Professional trainers ran this program manually and Omer saw the impact of the program which unfortunately didn't scale due to the demanding nature of the mentoring program. So he approached his cousin, closer than brother, Cenk, to get started, who was a talented software developer for a reputable company at the time.

2018 April
Development of Qooper started bringing the best practices of mentorship programs into a mentoring software with hundreds of reviews with potential clients.

2019 August
Omer and Cenk learned exactly what the market needed to help their employees, students, and members to set goals and achieve them with mentors, peers, groups, and resources.
